My thoughts on defense.

D'OH!

As a Cuban band leader might say to the Dems, "You got some 'splainin' to do!"

The Russian lawyer who penetrated Donald Trump’s inner circle was initially cleared into the United States by the Justice Department under “extraordinary circumstances” before she embarked on a lobbying campaign last year that ensnared the president’s eldest son, members of Congress, journalists and State Department officials, according to court and Justice Department documents and interviews.

The Hill carries the gory details. And not only did Get Back Loretta Lynch's Justice Department let in this lawyer with expired travel credentials, Miss Veselnitskaya bagged box seats for a House Foreign Affairs Committee session, where former Obama appointee, Russian Ambassador McFaul, testified.

A perusal of Miss Veselnitskaya's social media shows her to be virulently anti-Trump, curious for someone supposedly willing to conspiratorially dish dirt on Trump's political opponent.

It is heartwarming, however, to see Congressional Democrats finally take an interest in the content of e-mails, and meetings that might present the appearance of wrongdoing. The record of the previous Administration could keep them occupied for quite some time. Decades, even.

But, wouldn't it be just an incredible coincidence if this meeting with a candidate's son was used as justification for surveillance by the intelligence community? You know, the kind that John Abdul Akbar Al-Hammed Brennan assured us in sworn testimony never happened?
